These prints are much sharper and with better audio than the existing IA copies. "Seriously bent!" "Most deranged serial ever made" "Loony, goofy, surreal" "Strange story, terrible acting, racist" (IMDB reviews quotes). The above quotes did not lie, but they left out unintentionally hilarious. Here are twelve outrageous serial chapters that are highly entertaining for all the wrong reasons, but be advised the racism is blatant. This one truly must be seen...

An adventure serial in 12 chapters that is a mind-boggling mix of new sound footage with footage from the silent serial "The Jungle Goddess." All 12 chapters are strung together in one file, which might make this the longest unintentionally hilarious movie in history. Good luck in getting through all 3 hours and 17 minutes with your reason intact! Directed by Robert F Hill. Released in 1935 (and 1922). runtime 197 minutes. complete print. NOTE: Another mix of sound and silent footage...

An engaging 15 chapter serial -- that is once you get over laughing at the obvious padding in Kirk Alyn's Superman suit. Plus there's the sexy Spider Lady and fan favorite Noel Neill costarrs as Lois Lane. You won't mind the cavernous plot holes in almost every chapter because this Saturday matinee classic is pure fun. Followed by "Atom Man vs. Superman," again with Alyn and Neill, but no Spider Lady. (sigh)

1954 directed by Franklin Adreon starring Dick Simmons, Barbara Bestar, Dale Van Sickel, Mauritz Hugo, Lane Bradford, Pat Hogan, Roy Barcroft. Seedy saloon owner Barnet can smell the gold buried beneath the nearby Indian reservation and he organizes a gang of likewise seedy villains to fake raids against the settlers, hoping to stir them up enough that they'll drive off the Indians.

NOTICE: I'm taking this clip at face value that it is a real trailer. However its source is unknown. It could be a short fan film or spoof. A fun 12-chapter Universal Pictures serial produced in response to the success of the first two Flash Gordon adventures. The production values are good but they don't match the standard set by "Flash Gordon" (1936), and Killer Kane played by Anthony Warde is no match for Ming the Merciless played by Charles Middleton.

Universal failed to follow the cardinal rule -- keep it simple, stupid -- and the result was this serial with an unusually large cast, multiple competing villains and a plot that may have been too complex and too adult for Saturday matinee kids to follow.
